I watched it with two flatmates from Vietnam. It's hard to imagine what they were thinking about it (obscure US cultural references and Chinese subtitles!) but they were laughing a lot.

I don't know Family Guy so I was slightly concerned that I wouldn't "get" it and certainly much of the US-specific gags were lost on me (rest of audience was obviously more knowledgable than I) but I understood a few 1000% more than my two friends ever could.

Anyway... I rarely laugh during a movie (more like a wry smile or an occasional "pschaw!") but I gotta admit... the hotel fight scene had me crying. Perhaps it was the John-Wayne-face-punch sounds effects from a soft toy.

It was a bit weird. I was fully "in the moment" and then suddenly realised that I was, which meant that I wasn't and then thought "this is surreal" and was then in the moment again.

Machine gun preacher was a good movie, in fact, it is based on a real person that still lives in Africa... I don't understand why you two (ears and Erx) didn't like it. You think this story is a cliche? Of course it is, but it is also a story that get repeated on a daily basis. What, you think that this does not happen, that bad guys don't suddenly accept Jesus? Of course they do, take a look around you, I didn't find anything unnatural in this story, in fact, I found it rather down to earth. Sure, it is a Hollywood movie, so it is slightly exaggerated, but it is a movie, so it is expected. Good movie, god story, good acting.

Anyway, two horny, looser, high school boys found, in an old abandoned basement, a moving dead girl--zombie. To make this short, one of them tied her down and began having sex with her; he decided to bring in some friends and make some money off her, and of course kept himself supplied. There was some biting, and the hero fell.

My sister thought there was some deeper meaning in all this--the nature of men. I disagreed; she got pissed. I argued that necrophelia is tabu in all cultures. She argued that when the dead are moving . . .

Well I don't know about that: I think this was about "mate potential."

I am prepared to take abuse over this. The movie rating 1/5. I did finish the movie!

Expectations were low.
It had some clever ways to pay homage to the game, and other things that were stupid ways to tie in with the game. Otherwise, it was the poor plot and bad acting that I expected it to be.

Still, with low expectations, I sadly give it a 2 out of 5 Netflix Stars. I'd normally give any reasonably okay action movie with cool special effects at least a 3 in order to get Netflix to recommend similar big budget action movies, but this was too disappointing to give it anything more than a 2.

It was just a fucking apple man, we're sorry okay? Please stop the madness

Such an awesome film. The cinematography is bizarre and unusual, but in a way that works. If you haven't seen it, it's a great comedy film that's well worth a watch.
The best bit of all of this? It's the film we're studying at the moment on my film studies course at college. Yaay!!
